Class Descriptions

Ballet-Gymnastics Combo (ages 4-6 yrs old): this class will introduce ballet fundamentals while still engaging active young children in exercise and fun. Half of the class will be spent in the dance room, and the other half will be spent on the gymnastics floor. A great opportunity for little ones who aspire to be a ballerina and an Olympic gymnast!

Beginner Ballet (ages 5-7 yrs old): ballet fundamentals and classical music will be introduced. Creative movement and “original choreography” will be explored as the young dancers practice controlled movements.

Beginner Ballet (ages 8-10 yrs old): for the older beginner with more motor skills and control. This class will focus on the progression of ballet fundamentals and introduce the concept of choreography and expression.

Intermediate Ballet (admission by instruction): this class is for older beginners and dancers with some ballet experience. The pace will be faster with more ballet elements introduced. The goal of this class is to move the students closer towards readiness for pointe work.
